THE FLOWER GARDEN
Bedding plants such as the summer annuals are making their appearance. But if the weather does not improve 1 am afraid there will be many failures. It cannot be expected that these plants will be a success with the soil in such a condition as it is at present, and with the nights so very cold. I would advise those people who intend planting to make sure that the plants are taker) from the open. One cannot expect tlie plants to be a success when they are taken from a greenhouse and then planted outside. Even if the temperatures were higher the plants would receive a severe check when treated in this way. Next month is quite early enough to plant all annuals. Even then make sure that the plants are well hardened off in the open before planting.
